I taught my nephews standing up. They had a little step stool so they could reach the toilet. I put cheerios in the toilet and told them to aim at them and sink them. Then they would get a marshmallow for doing a good job and going pee in the potty. they loved it and learned fast

I starting teaching my son to sit and pee but it just wasn't working for us as soon as he was tall enough to stand I started teaching him to stand because that's how he wanted to do it since he used to follow my dad, his dad and other males to the bathroom all the time and he saw thats how they were doing it and to be honest we've had less messes with him standing than we had with him sitting.

he started sitting down and then he liked to kneeling on the toilet seat instead cause he felt like he was standing like daddy does. he did that about a week or so after he was potty trained. it is much easier for my son.
